Dear Lucas,
I suggest removing s51dude from Debian for the following reasons:
* It is not maintained upstream any more (Homepage vanished)
* It is blocking removal of the old libusb (see bug #810456)
* There might be replacements for this package like
mcu8051ide - Graphical Integrated Development Environment for 8051
sdcc - C compiler for the Intel MCS51 family
sdcc-ucsim - Simulator für SDCC-Mikrocontroller
* There are very few votes in popcon

* There seems to be no active maintainer
This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month, the bug will be
reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package.
In case the package should be kept in unstable, please make sure you
can provide effective help to port this package to latest libusb.
In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this
bug report:
Control: severity -1 normal
Control: retitle -1 RM: s51dude -- RoM; rc-buggy
Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:s51dude
Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned.
In case you disagree with the above, please add a wontfix tag to this bug.
Control: tags -1 + wontfix
This package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[3] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to help newcomers become familiar
with a consistent Git-based workflow.
Kind regards
Andreas.
